Re: Yaesu FT-7 No Transmit
Quite a number of transceivers from that era had the ability to bypass the HF PA and instead produce a low output (a few hundred Milliwatts) to drive a transverter so you could operate on VHF.
The idea was that you bought your HF-transceiver as a Class-B-licensed ham, for use with said transverter on 2M/70cm, but then when you got your Class-A licence you could operate on HF too.
Check there's not some 'special' wiring of a facilities/interconnect plug on the back!
